Is it safe to send my Bitcoin back to Coinbase now and still claim my BTG later?

[MIRU]

Hi all,

I am so confused, there is so much information on the internet. I see that many of you here have great knowledge in this forum, I hope some of you can help me.

I have my  Bitcoin (BTC) in Exodus wallet. I understand that Exodus is not supporting Bitcoin Gold (BTG).

I noticed that the snapshot of the blockchain (or whatever it is called) has already happened which means I can claim BTG from 1. November.

Is it safe for me to move my BTC now back to Coinbase and then later claim my BTG?

Exodus let you export the private keys so If the blockchain snapshot happened as you claim then yes, you could send your funds back to Coinbase and claim your BTG by importing the exported private keys into a Bitcoin Gold compatible wallet later.

Thank you!

Hi,
In which moment would be an issue the lack of replay protection ? Someone could read the info about my transaction on blockchain.info or blockchain.com and take my bitcoin gold before I do?

Move your coins back from Exodus wallet {that is not supporting Bitcoin Gold} to Coinbase? How are you going to split your

coins, if you saying Exodus is not supporting Bitcoin Gold. This is the statement from Exodus wallets slack channel:

While we are aware of the fork for Bitcoin Gold on October 25th, we do not plan to support it like we did for Bitcoin Cash. The development team behind the fork has not provided enough instructions and we do not know what they are exactly trying to achieve with this fork. We will be concentrating our efforts on the upcoming SegWit2X fork in November and will know more information as the date gets closer. As long as you hold the private key for your BTC, you will be able to claim Bitcoin Gold by exporting the private key and importing it into the dedicated bitcoin gold wallet when it becomes available.

YOU would have to export the private keys before the fork or you will not have any Bitcoin Gold after the fork.

Yes,what you have to do is export your private key from exodus wallet and keep it safe.Send bitcoins back to coinbase.Since BTG fork will activate after November 1 you can be sure you won't be affected by replay protection if you transfer your bitcoin now to another address even though BTG fork already have replay protection(as they claim).

Better you can wait if there is no urgency. Most of them don't have any idea to decide to go which way about the btg yet.. Holding it tight will make sense

I think, We never confirm about replay protection as of now.

Hi

It doesn't matter if you remove from the hardware wallet now. Bitcoin Gold is restarting the blockchain at the Snapshot Block and then mining until November 1 privately for testing. They could not encode replay protection until after the split because it would interfere with the fork. I removed my BTC from hardware wallet and am keeping the keys handy until BTCGPU gets the website back up and launches next steps for BTG wallet. We can retreive BTG with private keys since it's a clone of the blockchain at snapshot block.

It is best to wait for your free BTG to come to ensure that it is not lost. If you do not use the bitcoins that you hold on the important thing. To be sure. Because sometimes our wallets are looking at whether or not there is a content or something because they will basically give me BTG. We do not know what is happening and there were no anouncement  that the hard fork is done

HUH? I still did not move my BTC. Are you saying that I had to export the private key before the snapshot of the blockchain to claim my BTG later?

Before every hard fork I think keep your Bitcoin in web wallet is not a good idea cause you can't export or import private key with web wallet so it's not safe cause you can't totally control all your Bitcoin. I think you should use some off wallet like Electrum or Exodus which let you export and import wallet private key very easy. Beside if you want to claim BTG I think you should find out any wallet or exchange will support BTG and as I know Bittrex is going to support the upcoming hard fork
